Discretion: n. being the better part of valor

[wizzard_plz]

Er...

I'll be just staying... in today. Very in. So in you all can just pretend I never existed.

Pretend who existed?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Exactly right.

[caged-song.livejournal.com]

T-That's really in...

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

It's almost in enough.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Of all the timing... Sounds like a very good idea.

[caged-song.livejournal.com]

B-But if you go so in...w-won't it be hard to come back out...?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

I thought so. Trouble doesn't sneak up on me. It comes after me with a spiked club.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Knowing my luck, I'll get safely in, just to find out that I'm in with a troll or the like.

[caged-song.livejournal.com]

T-Troll?

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I think you'd be lucky if someone came after you with just a spiked club today. Your roommate lying low as well?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Big chaps usually. Made of rock. Hate when you start fires in their mouths.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

My roommate?

Oh, the Patrician.

Er... it's hard to know what he's doing.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

That's his nickname... title? It's quite a mouthful! I hope he's not affected as well... there's enough people on the rampage today...

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Tyrant works, too.

He's the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork. I won't be the wizard calling him Havelock.

...

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Oh. Ah...

Hello, Carmine.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

The current ruler, eh? I suppose that explains the formality. But our rulers back home are pretty casual, you can drop the titles and call them by their given names.

[letslip.livejournal.com]

You alright?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'd... rather not.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Just fine. But I can smell something bad in the air and it's not Ankh-Morporkian bad.

[letslip.livejournal.com]

Not quite Heaven's Gate bad, either.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

I've never been there.

[letslip.livejournal.com]

You don't want to.

... Can't, anymore, anyway.

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

That bad of a reaction, huh?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Let's just say that I'd rather light a fire in a troll's mouth. Again.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it. I just want to get back to Ankh-Morpork. Or maybe Hunghung. They were going to make me arch-chancellor of their wizard's university, you know. Imagine that. I would have had the best hat.

[letslip.livejournal.com]

I like your hat.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

You do?

I mean... yes. Thank you. Er. I've been through a lot with my hat.

1/2

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

That... sounds pretty bad. But I suppose formality has it's place and--

2/2

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

--- ah ha ha ha ha...excuse me, someone's apparently launching flying explosives at the city. I hope your 'in' is also suitably 'down'?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

I'll work on that.

[ooc: LOL! at the link above.]

[bright-shield.livejournal.com]

Good luck! And be careful if your roomate or anyone else is acting a bit off. If you should need any help, just let me-- or any of the sane acting-- city watch members know...

[letslip.livejournal.com]

It's got character.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

It has more uses than you'd imagine. And get a bunch of cork and flies aren't as much of a problem.

[letslip.livejournal.com]

Oh?

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

It doesn't look very dignified, but when you're in the middle of Fourecks, dignity isn't as important as not getting eaten, bitten, poisoned, starving, or dying of thirst.

[stylish-bastard.livejournal.com]

Rincewind, I truly doubt such a thing is possible. Yours is a very memorable personality.

Nevertheless, it appears that the atmosphere out-of-doors today is somewhat frenetic, and it may indeed be wise to remain as in as is possible.

Rather unfortunate that individuals such as yourself couldn't have been cursed, as opposed to the ones with the ability and desire to start--demolishing buildings, is it? Or building, singular.

[failed-wizard.livejournal.com]

Hey now!

I've seen my share of battles. I'm just smart enough not to want to start them, look for them, or stay in them.

[stylish-bastard.livejournal.com]

Would that everyone were in possession of such a mentality.

It would at least ensure that the City remain quiet.

Speaking of remaining quiet, I appear to be something of a popular topic of conversation...?

[letslip.livejournal.com]

You'll have to tell me more about your world some time.

[heavensflower.livejournal.com]

I'm staying inside too~! I think it's safer that way.
